GOT AHEAD OF THE CHANGERS.
How Some Farmers Didn't Hold q
Bunch of Cattle For Damages.

Since the passage of the herd law in
Cheyenne county, Nebraska, the farmers
in that vicinity, and especially in the
region of Mitchell Bottom, have been on
the alert for any range cattle which might
knock down a stalk of corn, or do any
other damage, so that they might feel
warranted in holding the cattle for dam
ages, as the law provides. Although the
line between this territory and Nebraska
is ridden. and the cattle kept as much as
possible on this side, a few will now and
then escape notice and get across the line.
This was the case a short time ago, when
about sixty head of range cattle strayed
over into the Mitchell Bottom country.
Immediately about half a dozen farm
ers, on the lookout for just such a snap,
rounded them up and held them for
damages. AS cattle seized before had
been mysteriously liberated during the
night, these men decided to stand guard
over the sixty head, boldly averring that
they would fill the first COW puncher who
bothered them full of lead. They car
ried two sixshooters each and had truly
the appearance of bad men. About the
third night that the cattle had been held,
and when one of the most blood thirsty
of the farmers was on guard, armed as
above stated, a stranger rode up to him
and s~aluting him politely said:
well, pardner, | guess we'll take the
herd now awhile and you had better
make tracks tor camp"
All right, sir" quaked the farmer, Il
don't want you to think | am doing this,
| am Just working here" although in re-
atty he was the leader of the crowd.
The farmer then rode off, and the stran-
ger, assisted by four others who Joined
him, took the cattle across the line before
morning. The farmers now swear death
to cowboys.

AMONG THE EXHIBITORS.
Some of the Sights Worth Seeing at the
Fair.

Exhibits were constantly arriving yes
terday morning, and it was noon before
they were all in place and ready for in
spection, some very large exhibitions of
farm products and merchandise being
very tastefully arranged in a remarkably
short space of time. Entries were being
constantly made up to noon, at which
time the books were closed and all avail
able space in the exhibition buildings was
filled. People commenced to flock to the
grounds early in the day, and by noon a
very large number had collected to wit
ness the exercises.
At 1870 o'clock the judging of French
draft horses was commenced, Governor
Moonlight, Jas. B. Arthur and Jas. G.
johnson being the judges. The horses
were very much admired and it was quite
a difficult task to judge between them.
The POST ercheron Horse c~ompany's
exhibit was awarded all the medals as
follows: Best stallion, 4 years old or
over, Marquis first, and ''Shamp-
lain second; best stallion, 3 years old or
under 4, Battle" first, and "Saluente''
second; best mare, 4 years old or over,
Alice first, and "Hortense'' second;
best mare, 3 years old or under 4, "Prin-
cess first, and "Poulett" second. The
first prize in this class was a silver medal,
and the second a bronze medal. The sill
yer cup offered for the best coach stall
lion of any age or breed was won by the
Post ercheron company's French coach
stallion 'Climens,' which is a magnificent
animal in all his points.
One of the most interesting spots on
the grounds was the fine art hall, which
surely received its full share of the at
tention of the visitors. The awarding of
the prizes in this department will take
place this morning, and the judges will
surely have their hands full in designating
from the large and varied collections IN
this department, which are to be consid-
cred the best The display of fancy needle
work and paintings would be very difficult
to excel to say the least.
The displays of farm products in the
hall under the grand stand, will be in
spected by the judges and the prizes
awarded this morning. The size and
variety of the vegetables in this depart
ment excel the exhibit of last year and is
very interesting to all visitors.
Too much cannot be said of the mer-
chants exhibit in their building. These
exhibits were put in place at a great ex-
pense to the exhibitors, and it was late in
the day before all were completed. This
department was very interesting and was
crowded during the entire day.
Among the exhibitions in the hall are j.
f. jenkins, boot and shoes; 1B. Hellman,
clothing; Idelman Bros, wines, liquors
and cigars; a. DE- Kelley, groceries; f.
A. Meanea, saddles and harness; S. Bon,

ing Events.
The weather was fine. Though the sun
shone brightly a cool and pleasant breeze
prevailed. The judges were Geo. F. Nor
gan, starter W. H. Ijams and W. H.
Force. A. H. Hord was the association
representative in the stand, while Gov.
ernor Moonlight and Chas. Boulter
caught time for the flyers. At 2:l5
o'clock the grand stand was crowded,
when the judges ordered up the entries
for
THE 2:36 TRoT.
First heat-After scoring several times
the racers were sent off in good shape
with Kate Carey a triic in the lead, and
Leadville Girl and Little Joe a good Sec
ond and third respectively. Leadville
Girl secured a good lead after leaving the
first half and held it for the mile, though
closely pursued by her competitors on the
third quarter. She won the heat in 2:37,
Kate Carey second, Little Joe third.
Second heat-Leadville Girl, the grey

wasted no time in scoring. The winner
of the first heat secured a good lead and
bid fair to hold it until she broke at the
first quarter and was passed by Kate
Carey, who in turn was passed by Little
Joe. The latter forged ahead and main
tanned that position until the trio passed
under the wire. Leadville Girl second,
Kate Carey third. Time 2:35.
Third heat-Little Joe now took the
inside track, but fell to the rear at the
first quarter, breaking badly. The little
stallion was soon brought to his feet and
resumed his clock-li like movements, pass
ing Leadyille Girl and Carey apparently
without any effort and holding this lead
until the finish, covering the mile in
2:353, Leadville Girl second.
Fourth heat-This contest was a repiti

heat and race easily in 2:34. Leadville
Girl second. Kate Carey third.
Leadville Girl, Duncan & Dunmores

room until the black stallion, Little Joe,
won the second heat, when both he and
Jay Pettibone's Kate Carey were sold as

SUMMARY.

JUVENILE TROTTING STAKES.
This was an amusing affair. There
were originally three entries, but when
the event was called for 2-year olds, Re.
lief, G. B. Goodells bay filly, and Doctor
B., bay stallion, the property of S. G.
Kingsley, approached the Judges stand
for the word. The race was half-mile
heats, best two in three. At the word
Relief started off, followed by Doctor B.,
who did not seem to be in much of a
hurry. Relief passed under the wire
after one minute and forty-nine seconds
had elapsed. Later in the afternoon
Doctor B. arrived. The driver of the
latter animal loosely inquired, when
reaching the judges stand, if a man in a
sulky had been observed to pass that
point recently. The same state of affairs
existed in the second heat, although the
time was improved by nine seconds.
THE CLUB CUP RACE.
This contest was the event of the day,
and has received more attention than any
race which has ever taken place in this
section. The entries, riders and colors
were:
Climax, s. e, f. M. Ware, crimson and
purple; Bashaw, oh. g.. E. G. Choate,
magenta and black; Wyoming, b. M,
c. F. T. Wyndham Quin, blue and white;
Endebar, G. g., Sterling Birmingham,
black and red; Trouble, b. g., G. A:
Saportas, cherry and canary; Dee Dee, b..
g., f. I. I%selin, canary and black.
Endebar and Wyoming were the favor
ties, though all sorts of wagers were made
outside the pool room. Fully $1,000
changed hands on this race. Everyone
was positive that the contest was for
blood, - and that the best horse would
win were it within the power Of the
jockey to compel him to. Riders weighed
not less than $50 pounds. The distance
was a mile and an eighth, every inch Of
which was a race after the style in vogue
in the good old days when the most
speedy animal invariably won.
The animals cantered up to the starting
point nPrvOusly and impatiently evidently
understanding that a great struggle for
supremacy was to nsu Dee Dee,
mounted by F. f. Iselin had the pole
when the flag was dropped. Each intel.
ligent animal was off like the wind. En-
debar and Wyoming were closely watched.
The rider of the former handled his mount
stragetically. He. could easily have taken
the lead, but was content to remain with
the bunch for the first half when he
pulled his horse in and dropped back In
til the three-eigths pole was reached.
Here Wyoming, Dee Dee, Trouble aud
Climax we're struggling for the lead, with

Are you in the habit of having

Are you in the habit of having counterfeit money in your old pants, sir?" said the judge to MT. Copper.
 ''No, I hain't; but I'll tell you how this happened. Me and my wife be- long to the church, and am one of the deacons. About six months ago we had revival. One Friday night I says to my wife: Mary, goin' to meetin'?' Says she: No, I reckon not; Pm goin' to do up some chores Pve neglected. Go along and take Ann Jane.' That's our girl"
 Stick to the point, sir"
 "So be-" said my husband. "So l went, We heard the usual preachin' and prayin', and it come time for me to rise along O MT. Yooler and hand round the plate. He went down the right, me down the left. At last I came to a stranger, a rough fellow, we'd never seen before. He spoke to me.
 "'How much have you collected, sir?' says he.
 "About S1o,' says I.
 "Says he;
 live been amazingly impressed by the prayin', and I'd like to make an offering but Pve only got S2o, l can't afford SEQ, but I'll give you $i0. You can changei it.
 Certainly says I, And l counts the collection-$l0.02-and takes his money. Before l got up the aisle again he'd up and gone; then young Davis-he's in bank-he says, Let's see it. and the minute he looked at it, says he, Counterfeit That rascal had tricked us, and, of course, made up the ten he'd got, and l was too ashamed to tell wife when got home. I jest writ this is bad on it, sos it mightn't ever be mistook. You can inquire of our church folks if you don't believe me"
 "It seems a plausible story" said the judge, 'and if you'll pay MT. Cohen for the shawl, doubtless he will withdraw the charge"
 "Oh, yes," said MT. Cohen.
 So Adoniram paid for the shawl, and we went home 'Twasn't d very pleasant journey, and never took any comfort ill the shawl.

How the Ignorant Regard Science,
Popular Science Monthly.

POpular science Montnly.
 At last found the particular object of which I was in search. It was a little shell about the size and thick ness of lentil, which had grown fast to the stone by piece of its edge. It was of a dingy, brownish color, with a dim red spot in the middle, and was so covered with slime and mud that it could hardly. be distinguished from a stone splinter. loosened it with a knife and exhibited it to the boatmen on the palm of my hand. "Look at it sharply" said, 'so that you will be able to recognize it anywhere and then help me to look for more." In the course of half an hour every stone had been examined, and three or four shells had been obtained, among them larger one, yellowish-green and three which was attached by the tip. "Your excellency," said one of the sailors, '9arc there no shells in the country you came from?" "In Switzerland?" replied. "No. These shells grow only in the sea, and there is no sea in Switzerland" "That is a good way from here, and the journey must have cost great deal of money. We are very simple people, your ex = cellency, and must believe you but we cannot understand why you should come 80 far and spend so much money just to get two or three poor little shells that are not worth any money"
 "But tell you it is worth a great deal to me to see these shells living"
 "But you can't sell the shells and get your money back again?"
 "Certainly not, but have another kind of interest in them"
 "We believe, indeed, that something else must be hidden behind this, and that is what we should like to know ; but it does not concern us any further. We give you the shells because you have paid us for them, and wash our hands in innocence. You are respons- ible for what else is done with them 1; but prudent man does not act as you do. Don't consider it wrong in us, your excellency. We should like to earn enough in this business to devote candle to the Madonna of Valverde, with which we may atone for our sins, and the Madonna will pardon us if we have helped on a little foolery or witchcraft to earn a little money by it."
 It had come to this, then, that was fool or a wizard. l should clearly have to give some explanation of my business to these men; but It would be impossible to make their simple heads take the conception of science or of scientific interest. So was ob- liged to make up little fiction or allegory with which to put them off, and I told them that I wanted the shells to settle a wager.

A PERFECT DAY.
BY ADALrNE HoHF.

Ont of the south, where dainty heaps of cloud The uale blue tapestry of heaven emboss, The warm wind blows the crimson woods across, And half forgotten ripples tell aloud
 crowd Of leaves, like autumn navies; on the moss, Fit couch for dreaming ease, the grave oaks toss Their acorns, and the banks in shadow shroud The half blown moon is limned against the west, Alingerer to witness this pure day; Who knows, when she pursues the stars to rest, What sweeter smiles may charm her night away? This is day when joy flows to the brim, The stately echo of a summer hymn.
